DEPRECATED — forwards to bmad-prd (update intent)

This skill was consolidated into bmad-prd. It is retained as a thin compatibility shim so existing invocations by name and _bmad/custom/bmad-edit-prd.toml override files keep working. New work should invoke bmad-prd directly — it detects create / update / validate intent from the conversation.

On Activation

1. Resolve customization: uv run {project-root}/_bmad/scripts/resolve_customization.py --skill {skill-root} --key workflow. This picks up any {project-root}/_bmad/custom/bmad-edit-prd.toml and bmad-edit-prd.user.toml overrides for the legacy fields (activation_steps_prepend, activation_steps_append, persistent_facts, on_complete).

1. Load {project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml (and config.user.yaml if present) to resolve {user_name} and {communication_language}.

1. Emit a deprecation notice to the user in {communication_language}:

> Notice: bmad-edit-prd is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. It now forwards to bmad-prd with update intent. To silence this notice and access the full new customization surface (prd_template, validation_checklist_template, validation_report_template, doc_standards, finalize_reviewers, external_sources, external_handoffs, prd_output_path, run_folder_pattern), migrate _bmad/custom/bmad-edit-prd.toml to _bmad/custom/bmad-prd.toml and invoke bmad-prd directly next time. Customization fields that were in this version still remain in the new version and will be respected if present in _bmad/custom/bmad-prd.toml, but the new version also supports additional fields that you can take advantage of by migrating.

1. Invoke bmad-prd with the following context. Pass these as the activating context so bmad-prd honors them instead of resolving its own customization from scratch:

• Intent: update — skip bmad-prd's usual intent detection step.
• Pre-resolved legacy customization — use these in place of resolving from bmad-prd's own customize.toml for the four legacy fields. For everything else (prd_template, validation_checklist_template, validation_report_template, doc_standards, finalize_reviewers, prd_output_path, run_folder_pattern, external_sources, external_handoffs), use bmad-prd's own defaults and overrides as normal:
• activation_steps_prepend = the resolved value from step 1
• activation_steps_append = the resolved value from step 1
• persistent_facts = the resolved value from step 1
• on_complete = the resolved value from step 1
• Original user input: forward whatever the user said when invoking this skill verbatim (the target PRD path, the change signal, etc.).

bmad-prd takes the workflow from here. Do not execute any further steps in this shim.
